43. O, Sabbath Rest of Galilee

O, Sabbath rest of Galilee!
O, calm of hills above,
Where Jesus knelt to share with thee
The silence of eternity
Interpreted by love.
Drop thy still dews of quietness
Till all our striving cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of thy peace.
